A motherboard ties all the devices in a system together. It connects the CPU, RAM, hard drives, CD/DVD drives, PCI cards and graphics card, while transmitting power to these devices. It also manages the data sent between the CPU, RAM, Hard Drive and Graphics Card.
May 08, 2019 Dell mother boards are not proprietary, and they use a standard ATX case. What IS different with Dells, is the power supply connector (where the power supply meets the motherboard). It is different than a normal power supply, so if you swap motherboards, you are also going to have to swap power supplies. I know this from experience.
It is important that you correctly identify the motherboard your system needs. We strongly recommend that you use the Service Tag lookup feature in the Parts For Your Dell™ tool. This feature allows us to determine the model of the motherboard originally shipped with your system and supply a compatible part. If you have changed your motherboard or any part on it, please call the Parts and Upgrades Queue to verify you are buying the right part.
In addition, it is important to know what additional features a motherboard can provide. Some motherboards come with Audio and Video capabilities and/or Network Interface controllers. Skyrim what time is dawn. These details are provided in the notes section of tech specs.
